Orchard Park, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills brought back quarterback Tyrod Taylor on a restructured contract, but that's not stopping them from doing their homework on the quarterbacks available in the 2017 NFL Draft.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Bills will be working out Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes next week. Mahomes is among the best quarterbacks available in the 2017 NFL Draft. He possesses arguably the strongest arm of the bunch and threw for over 5,000 yards, 41 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season. Mahomes made waves by uncorking a 78-yard throw at Texas Tech's pro day on Friday.

Mahomes has drawn plenty of interest from teams around the league. The Jets worked Mahomes out privately, and the Browns and Chargers did so last week.

If Mahomes is available in the second round, he would be an ideal selection for the Bills. The Bills' No. 10 pick in the first round might be a bit early for Mahomes, but he's worked his way into first-round consideration throughout the pre-draft process.
